The legal battle over the worst oil spill in U.S. history has been
delayed.
A civil trial stemming from the 2010 Deepwater Horizon disaster was scheduled to begin in Louisiana Monday morning.
But we've learned, it's been pushed back by a week, until March 5th.
BP, one of the defendants, says the delay will give them more time to continue settlement talks.
The plaintiffs include fishermen, hotel owners and Gulf Coast residents.
